Peaceful people don't buy.

Peaceful people would ruin the economy.

If everybody just took a chill pill and started doing Zen meditation and hugging each other and going to the gym.

Zen meditation.

Yeah, the economy would crash, man.

Like a lot of what we do, we do because we're in pain.

The porn consumption, the drug consumption, the alcohol consumption, we're just in pain.

We're just suffering.

It's that zookosis again.

If we return to each other and there was some unity, all of that would drop, but it wouldn't be good for a consumer capitalist model of an economy because people would stop buying shit that they don't need.

trauma yeah so we're always looking for a new bandage yes and that's all it is a bandage it's a bandage yeah so we've got that putting a plaster over a deep wound exactly so so you could say like a bandage based economy what's what's the next bandage hit of dopamine from social media i'll take my antidepressants today i'll have a little drink later so on and so forth why is that happening because

It's emergent and it's a conspiracy as well.

We've sort of drifted apart from each other.

We've drifted apart from what is important and from what makes life living and from what makes life pleasant.

And we're now a poor, we're not a good evolutionary match for the environment that we've created.

So as a species, we're the victims of our own success.

The tech and the safety is torturing us and killing us.

Yeah, and that has been one of the answers I've had.

If we're going to bomb them from space into submission, which you can't do,

How many civilian deaths would you live with?
